Sea Smoke and Orange Clouds at Marblehead Lighthouse

Back to Saturday's arctic conditions for this image of Marblehead Lighthouse and sea smoke. After capturing Sunday and Mondays' images of sea smoke from Devereux Beach, I circled back and drove down to Front Street. I stopped at Lovis Cove (the location for yesterday's image) and used my longest zoom to capture the incredible colors that lay before me. The sea smoke around Marblehead Lighthouse was not as impressive as the last time I had captured it [LINK] but the sky more than made up for that. The low lying clouds were bathed in the orange glow from the just [...]

After the Storm – Lovis Cove at High Tide

On Friday, January 3rd, the storm that dropped almost 2 feet of snow and brought with it arctic temperatures had finally departed from Marblehead. As high tide approached, the remnants of the storm's power could be seen in the astronomically high water levels and I drove around town trying to capture the feel of the storm's cold and the high tide. As I came down Front Street, I found the way to Fort Beach closed off due to flooding but saw this scene before me at Lovis Cove. I have shot from Lovis Cove on a few occasions and actually [...]

First Sunset of 2014 – Little Harbor and the Lighthouse

The New Year started off very nicely on Wednesdays in Marblehead. I shared my annual year end slideshow to a very warm reception and then found myself at Redd's Pond where I was a bit surprised to see so many kids on the ice either learning to skate or taking part in pick up hockey games. I shared a quick iPhone shot of that scene and must have triggered a fair share of memories as even more people seemed to identify with that image than the video. A bit later in the day, I brought my son to Redd's Pond [...]

Lighting up the Fog at Chandler Hovey Park

After capturing the causeway, I made my way to Chandler Hovey Park with a particular image in mind. I knew the holiday lights had been turned on and hoped the fog would serve to accentuate them. As it turned out, my hunch was a good one and I shared that image last week - LINK. Before I noticed the lighthouse though, I was struck by the light behind the first tree in the park. The fog served to accentuate the beams of light as they were split by the branches of the tree and the effect was almost unreal. I [...]

Marblehead Lighthouse Glowing in the Fog

I mentioned in yesterday's post that thick fog had settled on this Friday night in early December. One of my first stops was Chandler Hovey Park where I was hoping to capture Marblehead Lighthouse glowing in the fog. I knew that the holiday lights had been set up and were lit but I was really hoping that the bright green beacon atop the light might offer something special with the fog. One of the greatest qualities of thick fog is that it helps clarify light and, in this case, was able to show the gaps in light where the framing [...]

Snow in Marblehead – Chandler Hovey Park

Snow week continues on Wednesdays in Marblehead. Seemed like a good opportunity to bring some of these snow themed images to light as we have yet to experience our first real storm of the Winter season. Today's image is from an early January day in 2010. We were still relatively new to Marblehead having moved here in May of 2008 and this was only our second Winter. I had made my way out to Fort Sewall to capture the freshly fallen snow and took this shot exactly one minute after another that I had already shared and which recently was printed [...]

Beaver Moon rising over Marblehead Harbor

I almost forgot about the full Beaver moon rising this weekend. I only realized it thanks to some timely Facebook posts by others and then quickly began scouting locations from which to capture the rise. The angles the the full moon takes seem to get tougher as we get into the Winter months and I ended up deciding to shoot from the Boston Yacht Club on this particular day. Though the moon was going to be full on Sunday, Nov 17, the conditions that night didn't seem to allow for a shot so I headed out on Saturday at 3:30pm [...]

Marblehead Light on Chandler Hovey Park

Call it what you like but, in the right light, Marblehead light is a singularly beautiful lighthouse. This image of Marblehead Lighthouse seen on Chandler Hovey Park comes from a July boat ride/photoshoot around the waters of Marblehead. We got to this point at just the right time and hit incredible soft backlight which bathed Marblehead Light and Abbot Hall in the distance in a soft glow. You can just make out a few boats moored at the mouth of the harbor but what stands out is the incredible structure of Marblehead Light. With the orange light of sunset and [...]

Remembering Warmer Days in Marblehead Harbor

We just had our first sub-30 degree morning and the sunsets now take place at 4:30pm. The first few days after daylight savings time ends are always the toughest and, as I looked for an image to share, my eyes fell upon this scene of Marblehead harbor. Taken on July 24th, I had headed across to Marblehead Neck to photograph the start of Junior Race Week. There was little wind to work with so the one-maned optis were starting to bunch together and, while that may have been frustrating to the young sailors, it made for fantastic photo opportunities. I [...]

November Sunset over the Causeway

We had some incredible sunsets to mark the beginning of November. Friday's was breathtaking but I had to resign myself to enjoy it from my car as I made it home too late to get the camera and still capture those amazing colors. Saturday was a good show in its own right but we had plans that trumped any hope of getting out to shoot...again. On Sunday night, I decided to go out no matter what. With the end of Daylight Savings Time, that meant leaving the house at 4:15pm and hoping that the plentiful clouds that had filled the [...]
